+1 one on the piano
For quick starters get a nice VicFirth practice pad (remo and others make them), 3 to 4 pairs of varying stick sizes and a rudiments dvd.
good day.

Uh...Unless it's a language barrier or an incorrect term, a "drum major" is the leader of a marching band (or drum & bugle corps), usually found with a spinning mace/baton or found conducting the ensemble.
Example:

The drum major does not need to be able to play drums; rather, they do need to be able to spin a mace and conduct a group (though being a drummer does help in keeping time when conducting).

My advice to you is to look at YouTube videos by ArtyMac -- he has many instructional videos for beginner and advanced drum majors.
*I'm in a high school marching band, I've been friends with the three drum majors who have led the band since I joined, and I know some of the ways our current drum major learned how to become a drum major.*
P.S. What do you mean by "food training techniques"?

Yes, get the biggest drum set in the neighborhood and learn thrash

That's actually better than we're used to around here. Your Father should be proud!
Not everybody can be a drunken hobo on meth. Still, it's something for me to aspire to!

So, here's a brief statement, why I'd rather be grounded the usual way instead of beeing grounded the turkish way.
In our family, there are ONLY 2 reasons, for that you have to live and fight everyday. These are Honor and religion. We take this very serious. And now imagine, somebody offends your honor...I know it's hard to picture for someone who's not living like this, so just try to understand and if you don't...ignore it ^^

You obviously don't understand the principle of "off-topic". This is a forum where you can discuss literally anything that doesn't break the forum rules. If you want phone related stuff then step away from the off-topic.

The only way to know for sure is to ask her. Other than that i would say is if she is "looking" for you. Does she text you if you dont text her first? does she ask about you? If you work together, does she text you saying that they all missed you at work if you didnt show up one day?
Wishing you all the best buddy. Take it easy, take it slow, and let your brothers here at xda know whats going on.

Hard to know dude, there are girls that are all over you all nice and practically glued to you and they dont like that way
And there are gilrs who treat you like CRAP,seem to hate your guts, poop ib your food and kill your dog and thats the one that really loves you
Girls are not meant to be understood, so just ask when your gut tells you to
Like the guy a few posts back said its better to try and fail than live forever wondering

she will touch your swimsuit area.

Ask her out to do something that almost sounds like a date. The zoo. A movie. Try to kiss/touch her. If she doesn't pull away. You are good. But don't f&&& it up once you know. Let her go at her own pace. But do suggest stuff like watching a movie at your place or swimming with just her or her and one of her gfs that can conveniently go home or be part of the fun.

Very Chris Cornellish mate...I like it
just a suggestion..the drummer over does it in my opinion. he is making it sound more like death metal gone ballad than just participating and letting the bass take over.
Other than that...sound pretty good!

That's very funny because I'm the drummer. Also one of the primary songwriters.
This experience in the studio has been a huge learning experience for me. We also don't have a bassist. So what has happened with this CD is I've gone in and laid down the scratch track on guitar then the drum track on every song, without certainty on what they would do with the actual guitar parts once everything else was set in stone. If you listen to newer songs, like Opportunities, you can hear how much I've learned about laying back. The recording engineer at the studio has been recording our bass lines. The entire CD will be available for purchase in the next month I think, and it'll have ten songs. I'm sorry that Soundcloud isn't working for you because I don't believe Opportunities is on our Facebook. Masterbeast is the best example of my overplaying. Thanks for your criticism.

I played producer/arranger for a local singer years ago and I know for a fact that being at a studio is not an easy task as many would think.
On your drumming...as I said...lay down the foot pedal a bit and if you are doing it..keep it up
Let us know whenever you get the final product

Very true, hes so well-rounded and down to earth, he's the complete opposite of a fanboy.

He's pretty impartial but he's far from down to Earth. Some of his ideas regarding tech and patent licensing are probably never going to happen. For instance (and I'm paraphrasing here) he thinks Apple should agree to license all of it's "General UI" elements for a reasonable fee. That will never happen, Apple has invested too much on it's UI and that's the only real advantage they have. Also he want's iTunes for Android. Where's the logic in that?
That said I have a lot of respect for him and wish he still held the reigns at Apple.

Yeah. The only time I would wait in line for an iPhone would be next to him. And he does camp out for it. He does it for the fan fair and to hang out with people. Not cause he's a fanboy.
